The first week of October isn’t exactly brimming to overflow in terms of games on the release schedule, but those which are, are pretty big news: namely, October 2 sees the release of Resident Evil 6 for Xbox 360 and PS3.

Gamers who’ve been living on another planet or under a rock for the last 10 or 12 years can also pick up the huge bundle Anthology/Archives Collection, which reissues some classic Resident Evil games. Why Zero, 1 and 3 were skipped is beyond me, but it’s about half the series in their HD variant upgrades, so newbies can’t miss.

Basketball fans should be excited for NBA 2K13, which as always is available for just about every platform imaginable.
